I arrive around 7:30, I continue with existing work from the previous days or I ask my boss for new work. I go to lunch around 12:00 - 12:30 and then I continue working until 4pm.

It is very organised in the fact that I have a clear means of communication with all of my managers.

I get a lot of support for a lot of different things when I need it. So for example, if I need a day off for a certain circumstance I just need to tell my employer the reason and they are more than happy to approve it, and offer me any guidance.
